SHADE-ROLLER HOLDER. n

Application led July 11, 1921. Serial No. 483,753.

To all whom t may concern.

Be it known that l, MICHAEL MAcInJKo, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Meriden, in the county of New 6 Haven and State of Connecticuuhave invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shade-Roller Holders, of which 1 the following is a. specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in shade roller holders and has particular reference to a novel type of mounting plate combined with an adjustable shade roller supporting arm to permit the arms to be adjusted to accommodate the mounting of shades of different widths.

A further object embodies a shade roller holder wherein a supporting arm is adjustable longitudinally and vertically of a bracket plate to permit the mounting of shades of various widths and also to vary: the height of the shade roller.

With the above general objects in view and others that will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists of the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawing and claimed.

In the drawing, wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views,

Figure 1 is a fragmentary front elevational view of a window frame with the present type of shade roller holder mounted thereon with a shade roller supported in the holder,

Figure 2 is a front elevational view of the bracket plate and shade roller supportino' arm,

ZFigure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view taken on line III- III of Fig. 2 showing the opposite ends of the bracket plate to provide a clearance for the sliding nut of the shade roller supporting arm,

Figure 4 is an end elevational view of the bracket plate and arm, and

Figure 5 shows bottom plan and edge views of the clamping nut associated with the bracket plate.

Referring more in detail to the accompanying drawing, there is illustrated by the reference numeral 1, a portion of a window frame having a shade roller 2 supported thereon.

The supporting means for the shade roller embodies an elongated rectangular bracket plate 3 having opposite ends 4 provided with openingsl 5 for the reception of' fastening devices to mount the bracket upon the window frame '1.' As clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3 the bracket plate 3 is provided with an elongated slot 6.,

The shade roller supporting arm embodies a perpendicular leg 7 having a slot 8 therein and an opposite shade roller supporting arm 9 with a roller bearing 10 as indicated in Fig. 4.

It is to be understood that the shade roller supporting arm 9 associated with the opposite end of the shade roller 2 is provided with a longitudinally extending key slot, not shown, instead of the roller bearing 10 shown in Fig. 4.

The connection between the shade roller supporting arm 7 and the bracket plate 3 embodies a nut 12 having a rectangular lug projection 13 and a threaded opening 14. The rectangular projection 13 upon the nut 12 is slidably received in the slot 6 of the bracket plate 3 and is prevented from turning therein, a screw 15 passing through the slot 8 of the vertical leg 7 of the bracket arm and through the slot 6 of the bracket plate for threaded reception in the opening 14 of the nut 12, a washer 16 being interposed between the head of the screw and the vertical leg 7 of the shade roller supporting arm.

From the above detail description it will be readily seen that the shade roller supporting arm is longitudinally adjustable in the slot 6 while the arm is also vertically adjustable by the screw 15 extending through the slot 8 of the arm. By tightening the screw, the shade roller supporting arm is rigidly held in adjusted positions and is prevented lfrom becoming loose by the washer 16 and the engagement of the nut 12 with the bracket plate 3. With this construction, it is possible to support shade rollers 2 of various lengths without removing the bracket plates 3 from the window frame 1 while the height of mounting the shade roller is also controlled by the vertical adjustment of the shade roller supporting arm 7.

While there is herein shown and described the preferred embodiment of the present leo.

invention, it is nevertheless to be understood Y that minor changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

What is claimed as new is A shade roller holder comprising a bracket plate having opposite ends adapted for attachment to a window frame in a horizontal position, said bracket plate having a longitudinal slot therein, a shade roller supporting member comprising a flat perpendicular leg adapted to be secured to the bracket plate and flatly engage the front face of the same when securely clamped thereto and to tilt and rictionally engage the lower longitudinal edge of said plate and the upper portion of the securing means should the latter loosen, the said leg having a longif tudinal slot therein, a longitudinally depending arm formed with the Said leg and bent into a plane at right angles to the plane of the leg portion, and positioned forwardly of the last mentioned plane, the said depending arm having an aperture therein for engaging the shade roller pin, a screw passing'through the slot of the shade roller supporting leg and the bracket plate, a nut for recei'vingthe projecting end of the screw, a rectangular projection carried by said nut and extending into the bracket plate groove to prevent rotation of the nut when the screw is tightened, and a washer interposed between the head of the screw and the shade roller supporting arm, the screw head being countersunk within the outer face of said washer.

In testimony whereof I aiiX my signature.

MICHAEL MAGIEJKO.
